Etymology 1 [edit]

From Former Portuguese alto, from Latin altus, ultimately of Proto-Indo-European origin. This course is probable a semi-learned term, or was influenced by learned elements of the linguistic communication and uses such an orthography, as with Galician and Spanish alto (which accept popularly inherited variants outo and oto, respectively). In that location was in one case likely an *outo in Erstwhile Portuguese that is non attested^[1], just which left an inherited descendant in Galician. See too outeiro, a related word.

Spanish [edit]

Pronunciation [edit]

IPA^(key): /ˈalto/, [ˈal̪.t̪o]

Etymology 1 [edit]

From Latin altus, ultimately of Proto-Indo-European origin. The form alto represents a pronunciation influenced by the well-nigh learned layers of the language, and is not the normal phonetic issue expected in a naturally inherited word. Cf. the now archaic form oto, which was used more often in Old Spanish and is the form of the discussion that was completely popularly inherited, preserved in some toponyms/placenames^[i], and its derivative otear and the rare or regional otar ^[2]. Compare also archaic Galician outo (versus the standard alto today). Run across also the related Castilian otero (and Portuguese outeiro).
